by Dubrovnik!
George Bernard Shaw called the city “paradise on earth,”
and it is easy to see why.
Dubrovnik is a 12th Century masterpiece sitting on the jewel like Adriatic Sea.
The old city is surrounded by towering medieval walls, looming up to 80 feet over the city.
The walls can be walked in entirety,
offerring incredible views over the old city and the sea.
Game of Thrones was filmed here,
because the city retains a magical sense of unique ancientness.
Cheers to you from magical old Dubrovnik~
(Excuse my absence, but I should be returning to available wifi in a few days!)
Very lovely place. Fantastic alter area.
Isn’t the interior of this church amazing! There was no one in it. We stumbled into it.
Your travel bug is taking you to places I have always dreamed about! Your photos are just fabulous and I can only imagine what the scenes must be like “in person.”
Hugs to you Dor & I am so happy we are traveling virtually together! <3
You brought the uniqueness and beauty of Dubrovnik right into my American home, Cindy — thanks so much for this visit. Your photos and this ancient city are breathtaking. Have fun!
Wish you were here, we could take some sunset photos together!
Great photos. Everyone who visits seems to be in awe. It´s on the list.
Yes, it has to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world~
A beautiful city, Cindy. Peggy and I loved it. And isn’t walking around the wall fun! –Curt
The wall is incredible! The whole city is spectacular. So glad you both have been here~
And hope to go back, Cindy.
Amazing! Love the water views and the tiled roofs of the city but also love that cathedral — totally awesome.
For once, the word awesome is completely accurate! <3
Those are lovely photos. I’ve been wanting to go to Dubrovnik for some time now. Especially because I live in Spain, so it’s a hop and a skip away.
Hop, skip and hurry! You want to go to Dubrovnik! <3
It’s magical – I wonder how the town managed with all that film crew from “The Game of Thrones”?
If they came in off season, there would be room, but they must overtake the place!
I can imagine.
I will be heading there in 2018. Wow! now I am excited after seeing your lovely photos.
You should definitely be excited. It is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever seen!
Enjoy your travels, Cindy — and thanks for these breath-taking views. You’re blessed to get to see them in person!!
Thanks so much for traveling along with me Debbie. You make the trip more fun!
An awesome place! I really love those houses with orange clay roof tiles (I am guessing that they are made from clay). Their somewhat random pattern and the orange color against the deep blue sky are so pleasing to look.
I love really old rooftops, so thank you for noticing. Prague’s and Dubrovnik’s have to be some of the most fascinating I have seen. I love the contrasting lines and colors offset by the azure blue sea too!
Fabulous, Cindy! Thanks for taking us along on your magical journey. 🙂 xo
You make it so much more fun my friend! <3
Reblogged this on Musings on Life & Experience and commented:
Cindy’s photos from another beautiful city.
Hugs to you my friend and gratitude for your thoughtufness!
I’m awestruck, too. How beautiful, Cindy 🙂
Merci beaucoup mon ami!
Looks wonderful 🙂
So happy you enjoyed it & cheers to you~
Yes I am awestruck….Cindy
thanks for sharing…
warmly
sriram
Your photos leave me awestruck so we are equal my friend~
Wow I love the colors in their architecture! I love your travel photos sweetie! Hugz, Lisa
Hugs back to you and the bear child!
Thanks, Cindy, for showing us such a beautiful place through your photos! 🙂
Thank you more for traveling with me~ <3
It’s a beautiful city. I have never been there, but visited the Yugoslavia before the war and loved the food. You showed the beauty of the city well.
Thanks my friend, we are traveling all over the former Yugoslavia & Bulgaria. It is special to me because my grandfather emigrated from here to the US in 1920~
Enjoy your trip and enjoy the food. And please eat some Ajvar for me. I cannot get it here. Gosh I would take a bath in it right now. LOL
Have a good time and take lots of pictures. (Not that I have to tell you this.) 🙂
Lovely, Cindy. Just added Dubrovnik to my bucket list!
You will be very glad you added it!
Dubrovnik looks charming. There are so many places I would love to see. Thanks for giving me a peek into the wider world Cindy. Enjoy!
Thank you more for traveling with me Brad~
It’s a treat!
<3
A stunning place indeed. Definitely a surprise on our one-day stop there not that many years ago. Many thanks for the reminders through our outstanding images.
So happy you had a chance to visit this beautiful place!
Oh, my! I am awestruck, too, Cindy. Many regrets that I did not visit Dubrovnic whilst in Europe.
That just means you may want to visit again someday!
Beautiful! Ah, G-o-T, one of my favorite wastes of time (nod to Marshall Crenshaw for that phrase). (Watson! Bring me my AX!) 🙂
Love GoT and the phrase, and you of course! Be well my friend~
Beautiful, Paradise on earth, thank you Cindy. These are amazing photos. 🙂
Hugs to you dear friend~ <3
Splendid photographs, Cindy. Looks like a wonderful place to visit.
Very kind & most appreciated too!
I live by the sea but not in these spectacular settings. Lovely. <3
It is a magical setting!
Yes it is. 🙂
Wow Cindy, your travels and your photos of them have been Spectacular! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you so much more for appreciating them!
Very beautiful photos, Cindy 🙂
Hugs to you Irene! <3
Thank you Cindy, hugs to you too <3
Stunningly, beautiful, Cindy. We hope to see it for ourselves someday.
Leslie
You will be very happy you made the effort!
🙂
magical indeed..=^_^=
Grazie mille!
DAZZLING!
Thank you dear friend~ <3
Wow!!!
That is exactly what I thought the whole time there!
I loved this, Cindy, Any city by the sea is my cup of tea, and this one, with its history is special. I didn’t know it had been used for Game of Thrones but looking at your pictures, I could see King’s Landing..
Yes! You have good visual memory. I was noticing set locations too!
Breathtaking….! Blue sky and sea, a paradise indeed. Thank you so much, Cindy for posting while you are traveling. I know how much trouble you have to go trouble to get these beautiful photos up. 🙂 <3
The wifi is so unstable. Thank you for understanding Amy & cheers to you my friend~ <3
Stunning photos – I want to go there.
Please be kind to yourself and go! <3
As always, your photos are wonderful – composition wise and color wise. Enjoy!
So thoughtful of you & so appreciated too!
Wonderful shots across the rooftops, Cindy.
(now here…..is one place I have been to…..but I only seem to have one good shot made down in the harbour)
I am so glad you had the opportunity to visit here and thank you!
I could see myself walking here…..lovely.
WIth each step you feel as if you are walking further back in time~
That is something I have always dreamed of.
Hardly know what to say. Amazing, gorgeous, stunning and WOW, come to mind. What a truly beautiful place.
It ties with Prague as my favorite city in the world so far!
Cindy, what beautiful photographs! So beautiful. What an architectural delight and the scenery is breath-taking. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing city with us. K. D. 🙂
Thank you much more for such a kind and thoughtful comment. It is so motivating and encouraging!
Amazing photos as usual!! 🙂 <3
Hugs to you my friend~ <3
fantastic photos!
Ah, honored! Graxie~
As a GoT viewer, I have to say that you managed to show us some beautiful views and angles of Dubrovnik that even show producers didn’t manage to! Wow! They need to hire you! And what a wonderful way to end this series of photos – with a magnificent interior of that cathedral.
Can you imagine how much fun it would be to be a still photographer on that set! The cathedral was an amazing surprise. It was empty, tucked away, and so splendid! Take good care Lynn~
Dumbstruck!
Ahhhh, thank you!
Thought you’d be struck by that particular beauty, Cindy – love the photos. Hugs and hugs and hugs
The beauty is unbelieveable. George Bernard Shaw was right to fall in love with Dubrovnik and I have fallen heavily for all of Croatia! I feel like I am walking in my grandfather’s footsteps and everything seems strangely familiar, from the handmade textiles which I inherited lots of, to the food which I cook, and the written language which I can somewhat understand (not the spoken though). It is so beautiful here. Hugs back to you dear one~
<3
You know how to present Cindy and these vista’s are spectacular. What a wonderful and magical place.
Ah, what a lovely comment! Thank you~
This place reminds me of a place I visited called Camogli Italy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camogli
We are heading to Italy soon. This looks lovely. Thanks for the tip~
Amazing captures of an enchanted place. Thanks Cindy 💛
Enchanted is a perfect descriptor Val!
I want to be there! lol Thank you for sharing these gorgeous pictures! Just beautiful. Now I’m going to have to watch Game of Thrones!
Beautiful contrast of the vermilion roofs with that deep (Prussian?) blue : )
Yes, I agree and love your Prussian blue!
Your photos are so clear and colorful. Dubrovnik reminds me of photos of certain Italian villas. Ah… one day.
It is economical in Croatia and Slovenia, so your tourist dollars take you further. Hope you do visit some day!
One of those places I really want to see. My daughters went years ago and I still haven’t got there.
Hope you get there soon Hilary & cheers to you my friend~
Omg GORGEOUS! I don’t mind telling you how envious I am. So glad you’re enjoying this beautiful city, my friend 💜
I wish I could beam you over! <3
Me too! Where’s the transporter room?! 🙂 💜
It is pretty isn’t it? If you’re heading up the coast, there’s a little town called Rovinj, which is the only place my wife and I ever went back to for a holiday.
We are now in Slovenia and missed Rovinj, but did see many other enchanting little towns in a country with serious charm overload. I am googling Rovinj now……..
🙂
Just unbelievably good. Your still on form I see Cindy x
Ahhh, soo appreciated my friend & cheers to you~
Truly beautiful, ” paradise on earth”, and who knew that of thrones was filmed there….
And this city is in wich country? I can obviously look it up in google but you know I’m to lazy
(wink wink I winking here)
Thanks much Charly. This is Dubrovnik in Croatia. Hope all is well with you my friend~
All is well thank you for asking.
Hopefully one day I will be able to travel.
Hope so, and heading to your blog, haven’t seen your posts lately…..
Well that is understandable, I have 2000 plus people following me and I stll didn[t figure how can I read all those people, and trust me that I love to read you guys,that is why I got into wordpress, blogs about writing, pictures, e.t.c , I try to read them all, but I can’t no time in the day, but I do remember out of my head at least 20 including you that have been there from some time ago, and that, is nice.
love ya
Cheers to you Charly~ 💖
Cheers what? I can’t keep up with so many poeple, and believe me I try my best, but the day has so many hours in it.
<3
So full of character. I can see why GoT was filmed there. Beautiful.
Very happy you see it’s charm and cheers to you
The photos transport us to a dream paradise. You have taken wonderful views so that we can enjoy them.
Awww, what a lovely comment that makes me very happy I posted! Thank you~
Cindy your photos are absolutely unparalleled! It’s as if I am there with you!
Stand still! I’ll beam you over! <3
Wouldn’t that be wonderful? Enjoy! ❤
💖
Magical, indeed!
Grazie mille!
What a beautiful place, I love the buildings with their red roofs! The sea looks gorgeous too. Thanks so much for sharing these with us Cindy. Sounds like you are having a wonderful time 🙂
Europe is having an extended heat wave which is wholely enexpected but certainly enhances the experience. Thank you Judy and have a wonderful day!
It is wonderful here in the UK at the moment with blue skies and sunny days. I am making the most if it! Enjoy the rest of your time there 🙂
Isn’t it lovely! The only problem is I am running out of warm weather clothes. (This is a good problem!)
Ha! well, that could be a positive …an excuse for buying some new outfits? 🙂
<3
Wow! No wonder that quote describes it as paradise! Enjoy your time there 🙂
Cities like Dubrovnik make one feel a bit like humanity is regressing more than progressing. Very pleased you enjoyed Christy!
Beautiful!
Grazie mille!
Absolutely breathtaking! 🙂
Hugs to you Linda & hope all is well with you and your family (two & four legged of course!)
All are well, thanks! Especially now with spring in the air! LOL! 😀
💖💖
Oh wow Cindy. Thanks for this beautiful share. Enjoy! 🙂
Thank you more my friend for such a kind comment~ <3
<3
I’m wonder-struck too, my friend! ヾ(*Őฺ∀Őฺ*)ﾉ wow!
ヾ(*Őฺ∀Őฺ*)ﾉ wish I could beam you here! <3
Thank you for taking us to “paradise on earth” with your lovely photographs, Cindy! 🙂
Thank you so much more for coming along with me. I love your company~ <3
It’s always a pleasure, Cindy! ❤️
💖
Wow. How fascinating. Did you walk the walls? I watched Game of Thrones once. This city seems to be the perfect setting. The photos are stunning. I love old cities, the history, geographics, and the architecture.
I love old cities too, and their imposing walls, and can understand well, why they had them. I did walk them and wish I could have brought you along. Hugs to you dear friend, and thank you for traveling with me~ <3
You photo stories are absolutely amazing, Cindy! What a delight for sore eyes. <3 Now we feel awestruck! 🙂
You are so sweet! You just made my <3 smile. Thank you~
Happy travels with all your heart. <3 🙂
💖
What an amazing place. All that colour and sunshine. Have fun. 🙂
Thanks Graham. Croatia is definitely a wonderful place to visit. Cheers to you my friend~
Stunning architecture and that water!!!! ❤
So clean and unspoiled and everything tastes better too!
So beautiful! What amazes me about these cities is that there appears to be no space to even walk between buildings! But whereas in modern cities that looks cluttered, here it just adds to the charm!
Exactly! These corridors are built for a person to walk through single file. They fascinate me. In some cities they create mazes that are so fun to get lost in, and hopefully, eventually found!

I remember feeling much the same, more than 30 years ago, Cindy 🙂 🙂 So beautiful.
How wonderful! The city is the same I would imagine!
I think so, with those same glistening streets xx
What a gorgeous city, and photos, Cindy. I’m so glad that I “tagged” along on your trip. 🙂 Enjoy your stay there.
I love traveling with you Patti! You make the trip more fun~ <3
Well, I am awestruck, too! Dubrovnik looks cleaner than my apartment! Sheesh! Gorgeous, Cindy, TY for all your great photos!
Amazing places you get to see! The photos are brilliant too 🙂
It wouldn’t be the same without Wolfie and you! <3
Oh Cindy– always have wished to go to Dubrovnik!! thanks for taking us there!! That last photo of the intensely colored church altar– amazing!! Hope all’s going well as you travel along… hugs!
It is going wonderfully, and I know you have been to many of the places I have. Hugs to you dear friend from France~
France! Are you eating plenty of wonderful food?? Blessings as you travel on… xo
We were in France for 10 days and I can say, I am ready for some lean cuisine (well not the frozen kind, but the veggies and lo fat kind!(
I know what you mean– when I’m vacation I want to try everything– sometimes you just want a clean salad!! Happy travels Cindy!
<3
I’ve missed seeing the world through your eyes. A world of nonstop adventure and beauty.
I am so glad you travel virtually with me Brenda. You make the experience more fun! Hugs to you and your family~ <3
Likewise. 🙂
🌸🌸
We had a one day stop in Croatia in Split it wasn’t long enough so I’m glad to see more in your photography 😊
We wanted to go to Split, but didn’t make it. I wish we did. I hear it is beautiful. Hugs to you Charlotte~ <3
Thank you, Cindy. 🙂
Amazing photos you have in your blog posts. Awesome!
Very kind of you and most appreciated too!
Thank you Cindy. 🙂
The location is amazing and so many wonderful sights, Cindy! I liked the beauty and special faith displayed within the church in the mural on the ceiling! Wow!
I liked the bay and glistening blue water, as well as the charming village. Thanks, dear Cindy! xo
The church is wonderful isn’t it! The devotion it represents is lovely. Thanks for noticing Robin~
Devotion and people’s grace are wondrous, indeed. Bless you, Cindy. xo
Beautiful, Cindy!
Honored. Thank you!
The views over the old city are amazing! I feel like I just went on a trip 🙂
You did! A virtual one and that is a wonderful way to travel! <3
Looks like a beautiful place!
It is gorgeous! Glad you enjoyed & cheers to you~
